Network printer breaks the connection
"printer breaks the connection
Unable to finish the job, try to recover job 13"
(13 is the last page number).
From windows (spooler running on an NT4 server) everything works ok.
I can reproduce this problem, but one time it will work and the next it will print in 2 or 3 jobs (it's intermittent).
I have changed the printers' idle-timeout setting to 900, with no luck. I have also updated the hp-ux jetadmin to hppi (which gives me better control over the 8150), again with no luck. Also, the 'Status Log' feature of hppi doesn't give me more information (just that the printer breaks the connection).
I hope there is some twiddle or tweak I have overlooked and that someone can point me to!

Re: Network printer breaks the connection
I have problems with printers shared between unix & Windows, where the printers sometimes stop printing completely from unix, but are fine from Windows until the printer is power cycled.

Re: Network printer breaks the connection
One other thing I just remembered: the printerqueue is set to 'AUTO', this causes the job to be really slow. I changed the queue to PCL and it prints a lot faster that way, the only problem is: if someone prints PostScript the language is not interpreted but printed.

Re: Network printer breaks the connection
Pls check if new printers have any **buffer** option capability (DIP switches for matrix printers) or increasing RAM for Laser printers. It looks like a bottle neck trouble.

Re: Network printer breaks the connection
did the toner really fix your problem? I just found this message:
designjet-4940 loewe designjet May 12 09:17
/opt/hpnp/bin/xjjm th2:0 designjet-4940 &
/etc/lp/interface/model.orig/designjet hpgl2
/opt/hpnp/bin/hpnpf -j designjet-4940+loewe -b 277887 -x designjet
printer breaks the connection
Unable to finish the job, try to recover job
in my log, and the destination is a designjet 600C (old Firmware Revision, not capable of PostScript) with extern (parallel connected) JetDirect Interface. I believe a network or memory limit, but do not know how to track that down. Can you help?
